Overall review:
This is a decent, fun car to drive. The trunk space is much larger than its smaller cousins but this doesn't hurt the handling. It sips fuel even if you're hard on the gas, I always average about 35 mpg, 9 more than my previous car so the smaller gas tank doesn't bother me. BMW's quality control is clearly dropping. My last car, a Dodge, was SHODDY quality and the MINI isn't much better. Also, the controls are so British - they're a mess. Why do the wipers have only three speeds? You can't adjust the intermittent settings either. I wish they would make power adjustable seats that could also tilt at the base. My last two cars had problems that a temp/battery gauge picked up. The MINI has no gauges for those! The body's metal is FLIMSY. I've never owned a car that dented so easily! My dad's truck was in a light hail storm one night (No dents!). My MINI would have been ruined if it was outside. I do like this car but unless BMW makes several big improvements, my next car won't be a MINI.
